Tolani Baj Ignites Global Stage With ‘Still I Rise’ Tour

Tolani Baj, a Nigerian star known for her vibrant presence and unshakable energy, is setting the global stage on fire with her debut international DJ tour titled Still, I Rise. From London’s buzzing nightlife to the pulse of Atlanta’s club scene, this tour is more than music—it’s a bold statement of reinvention.

Once known mainly for her stint on Big Brother Naija, Tolani Baj is rewriting her story with turntables, truth, and tenacity. The tour, now in motion, marks a major milestone for the entertainer, whose creative journey began years before reality TV stardom. Today, she isn’t just stepping onto international stages—she’s owning them.

“I’m carrying my culture, my roots, and my truth to every stage,” Tolani said, her voice steady with purpose. With scheduled stops in cities like Glasgow, Manchester, London, Vancouver, Chicago, Atlanta, and Houston, the anticipation is sky-high. The Afro-diaspora is watching, and fans everywhere are gearing up to welcome her with open arms and dancing feet.

From her early days uploading videos on YouTube in the U.S. to becoming a household name in Nigeria, Tolani Baj has built her path with consistency and passion. “I would A&R for free because I enjoyed it so much,” she recalled. “Then I developed a passion for presenting, but I wasn’t able to secure a job in Nigeria because I needed to be on the ground. So I decided to start a YouTube channel. This is where the era of Tolani Baj began.”

And it truly began.

That online space soon became a launchpad. It didn’t just birth a brand; it gave voice to a young woman with big dreams and even bigger grit. Her move into Big Brother Naija catapulted her to national fame, but she didn’t stop there. Instead of resting on television fame, Tolani expanded into DJing, hosting events, and building her entrepreneurial presence—each move sharpening her edge.

Now, she’s exporting that fire abroad.

Still, I Rise isn’t just a tour title; it’s an anthem—a deeply personal mantra born out of struggles, persistence, and a belief in self-worth. “This isn’t just a performance; it’s a reunion,” she said. “Whether you found me through YouTube, BBNaija, or my mixes, I want every person in the crowd to feel seen, to dance, and to remember why we rise, no matter what.”

Each stop on the tour is expected to showcase more than her talent. It’s about connection, about translating her story into sound, about letting the music echo her truth. With Afrobeat and house blends under her belt, Tolani’s sets are known to light up rooms and stir spirits. This tour promises no less.

For many fans, the news of the tour felt like a homecoming. “She’s one of us,” said a London-based fan who’s already bought a ticket. “Tolani’s journey reminds us that we can keep growing, keep climbing.”

Tolani herself seems deeply aware of the emotional stakes. She’s not just delivering a show; she’s giving parts of herself. Each set, each city, is crafted as a memory in motion. “I’m approaching it with renewed energy that will captivate my audience,” she explained. That energy comes not just from beats, but from her resilience.

And her fans are responding in kind. Ticket sales in the UK have already shown strong demand. The North American leg, which kicks off shortly after, will visit major cities where the Afro-diasporic spirit is alive and thriving. Communities in these cities have long embraced homegrown talent making it big—and Tolani Baj’s presence feels like a celebration of that shared cultural pride.

For the Lagos-born DJ, this global stride is more than a professional win—it’s personal triumph. It’s about going back to the roots, about honoring every late-night hustle, every moment of doubt that didn’t win. It’s a tour, yes—but it’s also a mirror reflecting how far she’s come.

And the world is ready.

Fans, music lovers, and Afrobeat enthusiasts will get more than a party—they’ll get to witness a woman who turned every obstacle into a rhythm, every heartbreak into a harmony. Tolani Baj is living her testimony, and she’s ready to share it one stage at a time.

Her words remain etched in the minds of many: “Still, I Rise isn’t just a tour title—it’s my testimony and my love letter to everyone who believed in my journey.”

Tolani Baj is rising, boldly and beautifully—and she’s taking the world with her.
